Senior Project Manager (SPM)

Parallel Wireless is reimagining mobile networks with innovative, energy-efficient Open RAN solutions. Join us as we lead the future of telecommunications, driving innovation through green and sustainable networks . Learn more about our mission, vision and values .

The Senior Project Manager (SPM) works with multiple international technical teams in the UK, USA, Israel, India, and Korea to manage and co-ordinate technically based projects.

This includes but is not limited to: co-ordinating plan definition, hardware design, prototype manufacture, design validation, design review and change as needed through to support for NPI, production and production test. The level of involvement will vary depending on the stage of the project and the SPM will need to define and create clear handover points, including deliverable check lists.

It is imperative that all hardware development projects are fully documented covering requirements, HLD and LLD, design process, prototype build, testing, redesign as required and hardware validation. Very often the hardware will require firmware / software to operate correctly so the SMP must have experience of board bring up, SW and HW integration. Successful hardware development requires detailed planning, documentation and testing, the SMP will have the key responsibility for leading this within the Harrogate team.
